Sad Fans Are Sad, Week 9

Is Florida back?

Well … the Gators are much better than last year, but they won’t throw any parades for Dan Mullen in Gainesville until his team beats Georgia.

Didn’t happen Saturday, so let the sadness commence in Jacksonville, site of this great rivalry:

Some Gator fans were pensive:

Some might have let their minds wander:

Some did not know what to do with their hands:

Much respect for the Surrender Cobra form here:

Oh, come on. A pre-made sad face is cheating:

Georgia fans had some tense moments, too:

We wrote last week about UCF fans planning a College GameDay invasion of Jacksonville for the Georgia-Florida game, only to cancel those plans after receiving physical threats. Some UCF fans apparently did make the trip after all and were on the minds of some:

Some Knights fans claimed GameDay staff made them take down a sign about ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit. The there’s this … Obviously this person is a programmer with whoever does the Colley Matrix calculations to determine the national champion:

For Iowa fans, the sadness of losing to Penn State spread far and wide:

And even a Texas A&M rendition of The Lone Ranger (at least that’s what I am guessing this is) could not hide the sadness for Aggies fans at Mississippi State:

Oklahoma State fans were pretty worried for a while:

But Texas fans took the worst of it in Stillwater:

USC keeps heading in the wrong direction, this time losing to Arizona State:

TCU has bottomed out, stamping itself as one of the most disappointing teams in the nation once and for all by losing to Kansas. Some Jayhawks fans got a little giddy … surely you guys mean that you want Bama in basketball:

And Florida State’s loss to Clemson was so bad that coach Willie Taggart tried his hand at Surrender Cobra, but he didn’t do any better of a job at that than he did in preparing his team for the Tigers:

But honestly, if we’re going to visit Tallahassee, we have to say that Mr. Shirtless Florida State fan won the day, right? He’s an FSU professor who just wanted to catch a few rays and ignore the humiliation that the Seminoles were suffering at home.

After all, a bad day at a college football game beats a good day almost everywhere else.

Here are some other hilariously sad fans in college football from Week 9:
